Question

Hello,

Can someone please show how to solve this problem?

Thank you!

Problem 6.5 OPTIONAL PROBLEM - Homogeneous functions
A function f(x, y, z) is called homogeneous of degree > if
f(bx, by, bz) = b^f(x, y, z)
for b, A E R. Such functions are also called scale free. Prove Euler's theorem for homogeneous
functions which states that if f(x, y, z) is homogeneous of degree X, then
af af af
x +y +z =
əx dy
Əz
Xf.
Hint: Define intermediate variables u = bx, v= by and w bz. Then, differentiate the given
equation f(bx, by, bz) = bf(x, y, z) with respect to x, y, z and b, using the chain rule.
